I don't know anything about using MSI to install virtual directories, but
I think the solution is to put your 'shared' parent directory in a
component that is used by all of your applications, using the same
ComponentGuid. Then, only the 'first' application installed will add the
directory, and only the 'last' application removed will remove it.
However, I'm not sure how to do this.
good luck.

[WiX-users] Common virtual directory for multiple products
Hi, I have five products, each one of them creates one or more virtual
directories. I need to put all this virtual directories inside a common
virtual directory.
ie.
Default Web Site
|-[My product line]
|-ProductOne
|-ProductTwo
...
|-Product N
the code I'm using to create each virtual directory looks like this
<Component Id='MyID' Guid='MyComponentGUID'>
<CreateFolder/>
<iis:WebVirtualDir Id="ProductLineVD" Alias="[My product
line]" Directory="[My product line directory]" WebSite="[My default Web
Site]">
<iis:WebVirtualDir Id="ProductXVD" Alias="[My Product X
alias]" Directory="[My Product X directory]">
<iis:WebApplication ... >
...
</iis:WebApplication>
</iis:WebVirtualDir>
</iis:WebVirtualDir>
</Component>
When I install the products everything works as desired, but if I
uninstall one product, the common virtual directory is removed and the
other products virtual directories can not be accessed (Obviously)
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks,
Rolando
